House Sitting in Carleton Place

About: Not only have I had pets my whole life, but I’ve been trusted by family, friends and neighbours to pet sit since I was 13. Ive pet sit for cats, dogs and birds. I do not currently have any pets in my apartment but my roommate and I have cat sit multiple times in the past 3 months for some friends! I am enthusiastic about animals and love to come up with games and activities that are mentally (and physically) stimulating for them! I work full time from 9-5 (not remotely) Monday to Friday. I can stop in at lunch as well if needed! I head straight home after work and would be able to walk/play with your pets before/after those hours. I am home on the weekends and am happy to take your pet for runs (I love to run), walks, and to parks to play some games (on a long leash). I live in a house with an unfenced backyard. All pets are welcome on the couches and beds! :) We have many dog parks and large fenced areas I can take your pet out to! If I am going to your home, I would make sure some cuddle/attention time is allotted separate from the walks and adventures we will go on.

“Jenna provided great care for our girl and sent updates and pictures to let us know how she was doing! I felt my dog was in good hands while I was gone, and my dog was very happy to stay with her.”

About: Ive taken care of dogs on and off for 7 years along with my own. I can administer medication, play, walk, feed and enjoy the company of a mans best friend. I do pet care every day because i have a dog and cat of my own. Im a university student and work part time. Im only in class for the morning on Tuesdays and all day on Thursdays. My work is usually only 4-6 hours in the winter and more busy in the summer. I’m a very patient person and wont rush your furry friend(s) or force them to do anything that they dont want to in a hostile manner. I take care of their needs when they are shown to me by our friends and if they want their space or want to be close i can do either. Ill play some nice gentle music for them and check in on them regularly, maybe have a conversation with them too

About: Hi I'm Victoria! Owner of VC'S Pet Services I have years of experience looking after beloved pets in professional kennel and pet care settings and strive to fulfill animals physical, and mental needs. Everything I do is out of respect for the animals I care for and the people who know them best. I am Canine CPR and First Aid certified, insured, and have extensive knowledge in animal behaviour. Your pets personal space will be respected, while ensuring their every need is fulfilled. While working in pet care facilities, I realized that they are not for everyone. Whether your pet has separation anxiety, can react when overwhelmed, doesn't like other animals, doesn't travel well, or simply prefers spending their time at home while your away, I will insure that their routine stays the same and that they are happy and content. Whether you are gone for a day, or a week, I will provide you and your beloved pets with professional services that will put everyone at ease. I can't wait to learn more about your pet! This is my full time business! I am available for Walks, Drop in Visits, and Overnight Visits whenever it suits your schedule. I provide pet services in Carleton Place, Almonte, Perth, and everywhere in between! I can assure you that I will provide the safest environment possible for your pets. Dogs will be kept on leash at all times when outside of their home or fenced yard. I have a great deal of experience administering medications, noticing differences in behaviour and health, and am detail oriented. I pay close attention to instructions and will take all safety measures possible to keep everyone safe.

“My pups are always well cared for by Lindsay and the house clean when I get home. Would definitely recommend her. Thank you so much for caring for my fur babies!”

“We had the pleasure of having Emily dog sit our two pups, our 100lb Doberman and our 5lb Miniature Pinscher and she handled them both with absolute ease! It was our first time using the Rover app, as we’ve always relied on friends and family, but we’re so glad we connected with Emily on the app. Emily was wonderful to work with, professional, reliable, and great with dogs. Our pups were well cared for and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and experienced to watch your fur babies, I can’t recommend Emily enough! 🐾”

About: Generally, I have grown up surrounded by different animals, including dogs. I used to take our family dog for walks around the block and outside with him a lot. I live with other family who have two medium sized dogs. I talked to them and give them hugs every day and they make me laugh. During the week, my availability varies with more availability on weekends where I am able to dedicate more time to spend with your fur babies. At home, I live with two dogs. They are not my dogs specifically but I will let them outside to let them run around and/or do their business and sometimes I will sit outside with them on the porch and just relax. I am also active in my daily life as I exercise at home and go for long walks everyday down the trail. I like to absorb the nature around me on my walks. It's also a good stress reliever. When I watched over dogs in the past for family members, I would take them for walks, feed them, let them outside, and spend time with them in the house.

“Haley was great and I will definitely book her again. Very responsive via messages and came ahead of time to meet Cali my Aussie who is a very anxious dog. Cali was literally in love with her at first sight. Very punctual and respectful of the home, sent regular updates and pictures, and it was clear my dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for.”

“Hannah was so helpful when we needed a last minute dog sitter at our airbnb for the day. Great communication and you can tell she is very diligent and trustworthy with your pet. Highly recommend and I wish we lived closer to have Hannah again. My dog was very happy with her and they had a great day walking the trails and snuggling! Thank you Hannah!!”

Stewart and Emma M.

“Neeru took wonderful care of our dog while we were away for 6 days. We got daily photo or video updates which was wonderful. Highly recommend to anyone who needs a pet sitter.”

Charlotte R.

“Melanie did a great job of taking care of our dog while respecting the house at the same time. We had great communication through her entire stay and she sent a bunch of photos. She was patient with our animal and asked questions when instructions or things were not clear. Happy with it all 😊”

Mia H.

“Becky is always so reliable and keeps us updated with pics and news on the pets/home. We trust her with our home and are super appreciative having her house sit for us”

“Derek was very professional, and made us feel calm and comfortable about leaving Jango with him for a weekend in our house. He kept our high energy dog happy the entire time (even in the very cold winter)!”

About: Our names are Jocelyn and Jason. We currently have one dog as our Goldendoodle of 12 yrs passed away in the fall of 2024. Our youngest dog is an Aussiedoodle named Bella who is 6. Our dogs have participated in extensive dog obedience training and are relaxed with family friends and other dogs. We are very active and walk our dogs daily on trails, parks, and off leash. We have been boarding dogs for over two years. This experience has brought our family joy. Through the last we years we have gained experience with various sizes of dogs and breads. Currently we both work from home and are able to offer dog walking 7 days a week allowing for you to have reliability, trust and flexibility. Your care and concern for your dog will be followed with our utmost care and compassion. We are currently home through the day and are able to accommodate a flexible schedule. Flexible schedule for dog pick ups and drop off times from dog walks, pet visits, and house sitting Dogs are cared for in a safe and loving environment working with pet owners to ensure a collaborative approach to care. Walks will vary depending on the need of the dog and client.

About: Lifetime dog Mom. We have boarded dogs from 1 night to 20 nights so far. We have had Mini and teacup poodles, Dachshunds, Goldens, Labs, Labradoodles, Bichons, Schnauzers and other mixed breeds. We have great relationships with all of our pet families. We are a family of four, my husband and I have been in Richmond for 27 years in the same home. We live in a bungalow with a fenced yard. Many furry guests have enjoyed lazing in the sun in our front window, on our backyard deck and have enjoyed going for long walks in our dog friendly, and walking through the conservation area alongside the Jock River. We have two grown sons - 21 and 25. We all work full time, and there’s always somebody home. We are all animal lovers. I grew up with a shepherd and a lab. Our family has had the love of Ruby, a beagle and the most fun with Freddie, our beloved Bichon-Poodle. We laid Freddie to rest in Sept 2021. Our home is open to doggie silliness and company. I’ve done pet and house sitting for friends and family for years. Our primary interest is in hosting low or non-shedding dogs. Doodles, poodles, schnauzers, dachshunds, GMD, you get the idea. We love small to medium breeds. But check with me because I do love them all and would be willing to try any breed. I like to arrange a meet and greet and have a trial stay before committing to a long term 1-2 week stay. Our family has taken many roads trips and brought our own dogs with us over many years, now we are avid campers/glampers (travel trailer) and, when our customers approve, we have taken some of our furry guests with us. We understand both your concerns and your needs for a worry free time away. We are ready to care for your pet and give you peace of mind while away. Please note that we may take dogs from 2 families at one time during busy seasons and are well set up to manage this. Our home is a relaxed space and we always make sure the furry guests are kept stress free. I work full-time (mostly remotely) - when I have to be in the office I make arrangements with my sons to help out with dog walking and check-ins. My days ebb and flow. I can take the time necessary to get up early with your dog and get them walked, fed and settled before I start my day. I often have breaks during the day and can take them out a couple of times per day as necessary. We also have a fenced yard and a dog door to our large deck and yard. My pet sitting style is to give dogs lots of play, attention, snuggly places to nap and enough love so they don’t miss you too much while you’re away - hoping you and your pet will be comfortable never stressed. I can care for your furry family members in my home or in yours. I know it helps dogs and cats feel less stressed when they can stay home, follow their routines and be in safe and familiar surroundings.

“Liza and Kai were wonderful, our home was perfect and dogs were happy when we got back. Great updates throughout our trip with beautiful pictures. Can't say enough good things!”

“Julia took excellent care of my two dogs, provided updates and came for a house visit a few days before the booking to meet with me and the animals. Highly recommend:)”

Jade K.

“We hired Giang to stay in our house for two weeks to take care of our cat and two dogs. She was wonderful with communication, pictures and updates that had us laughing and feeling like she was in tune with their personalities. We felt like they were in good hands, as was our house, and would use her again in the future.”
